Our duo discuss Batman as a masked avenger in more a pulp style than superhero standard.Dad blows his nose and blows out the mic, twice.Patrick and Dad explore race relations in comics including the lack of superheros of non white ethnicity, and that Gotham is depicted as the whitest place on Earth.The treat is a bust, French's Buffalo Sticks, the backup, a mint, is also underwhelming.Promises of a better podcast and treats are made.

Welcome to our introduction of our Podcast "Make Dad Read Comics"
The idea behind the podcast is that my father, who feels comic books are the lowest form of literature ever imagined, is tempted though sweets and treats to read the first issue of a comic or a story arc.
He is given a week to read and dissect the comic. On Saturday morning father and son sit down over some coffee and tea to discuss. My father attempts to summarize the story. I then attempt to answer his insane questions, and we have some general chat.
Then after about a half hour of madness and illogical concepts are explained he eats his treat.
